How can teachers help students become responsible digital citizens if they
don’t get adequate professional learning about digital citizenship themselves?
Technology is changing how educators teach and students learn. These new tools
provide many innovative avenues for creativity, but they also raise new
challenges that teachers must now address.

This course fosters an understanding of the local and global issues and
responsibilities in an evolving digital culture. Educators will begin to
identify how to advocate, model and teach safe, legal and ethical use of digital
information and technology. By creating a repository of ideas and best practices
related to digital citizenship, teachers will be better prepared to address
these issues in the classroom.

This course features both video and written examples of
lessons and plans for focusing students on the positive use of technology in the
classroom while decreasing behavioral issues. The course will cover topics such
as copyright, intellectual property, learner-centered strategies for providing
equitable access, digital etiquette and responsible social
interactions.
